The southwestern reaches of Western Australia are a playground of dreamy beaches, ancient forests, rugged peaks, and windswept coastlines. On this six-day swag camping adventure from Perth, you’ll explore natural wonders from the striking Wave Rock to the squeaky-white sands of Lucky Bay, hiking remote ridgelines, swimming in turquoise bays, and connecting with culture alongside Traditional Owners.
You’ll travel with a small group, led by a passionate local guide, and sleep under star-filled skies in nature-based camps and bush hideaways. This is raw, real WA, a journey of wild places, open roads, and one you’ll talk about long after the dust settles from your Esperance tour.

AI summary of 114 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the region's scenery, singling out white-sand beaches, clear turquoise water, national parks, old-growth forests and abundant wildlife, with kangaroos at campsites being a frequent highlight. Many commend the knowledgeable, hard-working guides who act as driver, cook and host, the varied and plentiful food (including good catering for dietary needs), the well-planned itinerary that balances driving with hikes and swims, and the small, friendly groups that make it well suited to solo travellers. Sleeping in a swag under the stars is the experience mentioned most often, described as an adventure that many were initially nervous about but ultimately valued. Reviewers also note that guides adapted the itinerary well when weather, flooding or bushfires disrupted plans. The most common caveats are that this is basic, participatory camping requiring travellers to help with cooking and packing up and to be reasonably fit for early starts and long drives, with some noting repetitive lunches, the compact bus and a wish for more time in Margaret River or the forests.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Truly unforgetable”
This trip was amazing . I got to experience everything i wanted and more . My fellow tour passengers were great fun. The scenery was out of this world. The weather was not always our friend but it did not matter . Huge shout out to Rachel our guide . It was also lovely to meet cameron
The tour was truly amazing. I met an incredible bunch of people and we all mucked in together. Our guide Rachel was great and a fantastic cook, and although the weather wasn't always kind — we couldn't camp a couple of nights — she always made us feel safe. The hiking was probably my highlight, though there was so much to choose from. Anyone after an adventure should book it.
“Do it!!”
The tour was truly amazing. Met an incredible bunch of people and we just mucked in and helped . Rachel our guide was...
“Would highly recommend!”
The tour was fantastic beginning to end. Rachel was a great guide. A great adventure.
“Great fun in Untamed Western Australia”
A great way to see the South West in a small, easy-going group. Our guide and driver Scott knew the area inside out, kept us to time, cooked terrific meals and looked after everyone. He went above and beyond every day — I'd travel with him again in a heartbeat.
“Amazing trip”
The whole trip was superb and well planned from start to finish. The food was fresh and delicious, the campgrounds were well chosen, and guides Shawn and Rachel shared their local knowledge and happily accommodated what people wanted. Plenty of scenic hikes and stunning beach stops along the way.
Our six-day Margaret River tour was absolutely wonderful. Our guide Brooke was exceptional — smart, funny, kind, highly capable and genuinely inspiring. The group came from many different countries, some with English as a second language, yet we all bonded quickly over the shared adventure. Stunning scenery, excellent food, and every campsite had everything we needed. Thoroughly recommend.
“Very enjoyable!”
Unfortunately I'm unable to comment as fell and dislocated my shoulder the night before the camping trip. However, the company was excellent with communication after the accident, someone answered my phone call, and emailed paperwork for insurance claims the next day. I hope to try and do the trip another time.
“A magical corner of Australia”
An incredible way to see the beautiful South West — pristine white sand, crystal-clear water, wineries and educational indigenous walks in between. Our guide Jenai was an absolute superstar, and one of the best I've had across 15-plus group tours worldwide. The drives are long but worth it for the beach swims, hikes, comfy swags, well-equipped campgrounds and sunrises, and we were well fed every day.
A great six-day Perth to Esperance trip — we saw so much in a short time and it was hugely enjoyable. Jenai is the best guide, keeping you entertained and full of knowledge.
“Must Do Experience!”
A perfect mix of hiking, beaches, sightseeing and relaxation. I was nervous never having done anything like this, but our guide Janei made sure I was comfortable and fully immersed — her knowledge, patience and skill added an extra layer of wow. Suits all ages and fitness levels; I can't recommend it enough.
An excellent six-day tour to Esperance from Perth, taking in many places along the way, with our brilliant, knowledgeable guide Sean. I loved the camping most, having never camped before — cooking dinners with the other travellers was a highlight, and Sean is a very good cook too. We were a small group of four solo travellers, so it was lovely getting to know everyone around the campfire. I'd definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to see Esperance, Margaret River and everywhere in between.
A very nice trip through Margaret River and Esperance — we spent an amazing week discovering the area, with a super group and a super guide.
“Lovely tour”
A lovely, really well-organised tour. Sean is a very knowledgeable guide who gives you time at each stop and never rushes, so you can properly enjoy the sights — and he's a great cook too. Had a wonderful time.
“Fantastic tour with a knowledgeable & super efficient guide”
Great group. Beautiful scenery & wildlife. Beaches & mountains spectacular. Beautiful sunrise & sunsets. Lovely food, plenty of variety & enough of it. Sleeping in the swag a novel experience & much more comfortable than I expected. Definitely recommend this company.
The Perth to Margaret River, Albany and Esperance camping tour was absolutely fantastic — a lovely mix of outdoor adventure, hiking and camping, and a must-do for outdoor fans. Our guide Jasmin shared insider knowledge, good food and plenty of fun, and couldn't have been better prepared, taking great care of everyone including those with dietary requirements. Five stars more than deserved.
“Breathtaking trip with amazing guide”
Hard to sum up in a few words. Our guide Sean was the best — calm, friendly, endlessly informative and always making sure everyone was okay (right down to spare water and sunscreen on the bus). The food was delicious, the campgrounds lovely, and you sleep surprisingly well in a swag. A wonderful mixed-age group and something breathtaking to see every single day.
“Very good”
A very good trip with guide Shawn — instructive, fun and packed with activities. I really enjoyed it, and the group was great.
“The Best Southwest Air f Australia !”
What an amazing trip through the South West — magnificent vistas and even better people. Our guide Sean was simply the best, a youthful spirit with a wise head, and he made the trip unforgettable. Thank you for the experience!
“The best holiday to South West Australia!”
So much packed into six days without ever feeling rushed. We saw beaches with the clearest water and whitest sand, and ticked off so much wildlife over the week. A big shout-out to our driver Sean, who was helpful, accommodating and kept us entertained with his guitar. I made friends for life — highly recommend for anyone wanting to see the South West.
“This was everything I was expecting and a whole lot more!”
Starting with our excellent guide, Carlos and ending with sights and experiences, I’ll probably never experience again. A GREAT trip!
“A week to remember”
The trip to Esperance was amazing and every day was a highlight. Sean was the best — guide, chef, driver and singer, with jokes and games that had the bus in stitches. Lovely group, wonderful beaches and hikes, and so much wildlife, from kangaroos to marine life. Definitely recommend.
“Purely Exceptional”
Exceptional Tour Guide - A Perfect Blend of Safety, Entertainment, and Warmth. I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a six-day camping tour (6-Day Esperance & Margaret River Adventure Tour), and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience provided by our tour guide Jazz (Jasmine). From the moment we set foot on our journey until the very end, her unwavering commitment to ensuring our safety, delivering insightful guidance, and infusing every moment with genuine entertainment left an indelible mark on our entire group. Safety was paramount throughout the trip, and our tour guide Jazz's meticulous attention to detail was evident from the outset. She took the time to brief us on safety protocols, ensured everyone was accounted for, and navigated through various locations with utmost professionalism. Her ability to seamlessly manage logistics allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the journey. What truly set our guide apart was her infectious enthusiasm and genuine passion for her role. It was a heartfelt commitment to providing us with a rich and meaningful experience. Beyond the informative aspects, our guide Jazz demonstrated a remarkable talent for keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable. A constant smile adorned her face, and her witty commentary and engaging storytelling turned what could have been mundane moments into memorable highlights. It's not every day that you come across someone who can effortlessly blend education and entertainment with such finesse. Moreover, our guide Jazz's patience and adaptability were commendable. Her ability to tailor the experience to the group's dynamics demonstrated a level of professionalism that truly enhanced the overall enjoyment of the tour. In summary, Jazz surpassed all expectations, turning what could have been a routine tour into an extraordinary adventure. Her commitment to safety, genuine passion for her job, and infectious enthusiasm created an experience that will be cherished by our group for years to come. If you're seeking a guide who goes above and beyond to ensure your journey is both safe and entertaining, look no further. Our heartfelt thanks to this outstanding guide for making our trip an absolute delight.
“Highly recommended”
Beautifully organised six days with guide Carlos. The places we visited were stunning and the balance was spot on — some driving, but broken up with walks, swims, a guided walk with an indigenous elder and a stop at a local chocolate factory. It rained a fair bit so tents were offered alongside the swags, the campgrounds were clean and uncrowded, and the food was delicious and plentiful. With only seven of us there was loads of room, and we could often choose between different hikes and activities. Among the very best tours you can do in Australia.
“Great experience. Totally worth it!”
Six days from Perth to Esperance with guide Carlos — one of the best guides I've ever had. The places we visited were beautiful and the food had great variety. Would happily recommend to friends.
“Great trip to the SW”
A great trip with many highlights. Our guide and driver Alex was professional and friendly, the meals were excellent and the campgrounds good. When bad weather caused a few disruptions, Alex and the team handled it superbly, even finding alternative accommodation for the last night in a busy school-holiday period. A fun group too — my second trip with them, and both have been excellent.
“Magical Tour”
An absolutely magical part of Australia. Our guide showed us more than we could have imagined, and his enthusiasm was infectious — a great mix of local history, landmarks, indigenous culture and stunning scenery. He cooked a good variety of meals and we never went hungry.
“It was an awesome tour”
Enabling participants to experience the natural and abundant beauty of Western Australia - Perth to Esperance - thanks to countless hike, walk, swim and stargazing opportunities. Alex, our tour guide, was an amazing and passionate driver, chef, storyteller and naturalist who generously shared her knowledge of the land with us. An unforgettable adventure for outdoor lovers!
“The Tour was great.”
Our Tour guide Alex was even better. Had a swim everyday great wildlife which includes a kangaroo trying to steal our lunch. Great beaches.
“Exciting, Adventurous and Stunning”
An absolutely incredible tour — loved everywhere we went. The food was superb and sleeping under the stars was breathtaking. Special thanks to our guide Alex, who was brilliant throughout. It's great for solo travellers as everyone is friendly and in the same boat, and I made some good friends along the way.
“A spectacular getaway with a wide variety of activities and…”
We had the best time with our guide Alex — organised, knowledgeable and fun — who led us through a well-paced itinerary with just the right time at each spot. Great value, beautiful campsites under the stars and excellent food. We could never have put a trip like this together ourselves.
“Nice tour with a nice group and a nice guide (Alex)!”
I really enjoyed the hikes, the swags and the landscapes. The food was good but the lunch could be improved. We ate wraps everyday. I would do it again without hesitation
“The spectacular South West of Western Australia”
The tour run by Nullabor Traveller is the perfect short camping trip with all the national parks and beaches of the region. Yes it’s focus is the budget conscious more interested in scenery than 5 star luxury. But for skipping a few fancy restaurants whilst on holidays you gain the experience of kangaroos hopping through your campsite at Cape Le Grand. Day trippers don’t get this. The walks are challenging. But the achievement is worth the views provided. They’re mixed in well to balance the distances covered by bus.
The guide is busy leading solo. The tour is designed for participation through sharing camp cooking responsibilities. This builds a better experience for all. And well the food is basic but there are plenty of opportunities to add that little extra for you (or even share with the group) through supermarket stops.
“A great trip”
An excellent trip would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the Australian south west. The trip takes you to all the great spots of SW Australia and is really flexible depending on the conditions present at the time of the trip.
“Awesome!”
What a fabulous trip! Would advise anyone to experience the magic of sleeping under the stars. Cannot speak highly enough of the two guides we had - Chris for the first two days and then Janner. They never stopped and after long driving days they then rustled up tasty meals (with a little help from everyone). Their main focus was to ensure that everyone had the best experience possible and their knowledge and enthusiasm seemed endless. The tour had a good variety of different things to do and see. All in all an excellent tour - go for it!
“6 day adventure from Perth for best of WA nature”
My husband and I have just completed a fabulous, fun tour of WA's beautiful south with Nullarbor Traveller. Despite the terrible bushfires in some parts of Australia, we enjoyed the sparkling beaches of Le Grand NP and Esperance, the granite Frenchman's Peak and Castle Rock, climbed the Gloucester Tree, and so much more with our wonderful guide Sean and a delightful group of fun, young singles from Europe, the US & Oz. Being in a 20seat bus, we could access all the region's beauty spots, but of course it is not luxury seating so I'd suggest this tour only for those who are not very tall/big. The swags were surprisingly comfy though you may like to bring/buy a head net to keep a few mozzies away; we were all a little anxious the first night sleeping out in the open, but after that it was great - fresh air and starry skies. This is a great-value adventure tour, so you'll have a fabulous time if you are happy to be up with the sun, help with meals/pack-up, and are reasonably fit and agile. Thank you Sean for your interesting and funny commentary, great Aussie music, taking and sharing lots of photos, and adapting plans slightly when that best suited our group.
“Sleeping under the stars”
It was an amazing Tripp! We experienced the bushcamping, sleeping in a swag under the stars,just beautiful. We saw so many nice things thanks to our tour guide Shoan. He told us a lot of the nature and history around us, he showed us beautiful beaches and we hiked on amazing rocks. My highlight was lucky Bay but also the tree top walk. I can recommend this trip to everyone who is ready for an adventure.
“Outstanding”
I loved everything about this trip. From the organization to our guide, the food. Everything was excellent. The accommodations where always good and the places we went to were not too touristy. Our guide was very competent and always had an answer ready for our questions. I would definitely book again with this company.
“6 days Perth - esperance - Perth”
This part was one of the most beautiful parts of my Australian journey. There are beautiful national parks, beaches which take your breath away,ots of wildlife and culture. Our guide Sean was full of knowledge, motivation and he made sure that everyone hat a fantastic time. He was an awesome chef as well. Thank you!
“Definitely an adventure”
This itinerary is a good way to explore the South-West of WA if you like being out in nature - swag camping under the stars is definitely an adventure. I was lucky to travel with a fun group of people and our awesome tourguide Michael who organized everything smoothly.
“WA's stunning countryside”
Our guide had a massive knowledgment about flora&fauna, animals, how nature works. I enjoyed to learn new things. WA is stunning. I felt save to travel in the group and did things, i'd never would have experienced, travelling alone as female.
I love the countryside. Totally worth it!
2 things i would've done diffrent:
- stay 1 night in margret river. I would've loved to visit restaurants/bars at this place.
- spend more time in the forrest with those huge trees. Rather climbing up to one of them. It was so impressive to see all of it.
“An incredible tour of one of the most stunning parts of Australi”
This region is definitely one of the most stunning parts of Australia I have ever seen and I have pretty much seen it all! From beautiful old growth forests to beaches that take your breath away and best of all there was hardly anyone else there. Our guide Nat was incredible, full of knowledge and enthusiasm and attentive, making sure everyone was having a great time. Some of the hikes were challenging but worth every effort with some jaw dropping views from the top! I must admit I was a bit nervous about swag camping out under the stars but it was incredible and something everyone should try once! I The only negative comment I have is I wish I had have travelled to this stunning part of Western Australia years ago! Thank you Nullarbor Traveller for a life enhancing and memorable experience!
“Exceeded Expectations”
My eight-year-old and I did the six-day Perth to Margaret River and Esperance trip and loved it. The guide was wonderful, the owner even met up with us during the trip, and the whole thing was thoughtfully designed — just the right amount of driving, sightseeing and hiking. It felt genuinely tailored to us.
“Absolutely Amazing”
It was the best 6 days , we practically covered everything in the south West Edge Esperance,Albany, Pemberton, Margaret River, Busselton.
Our Guide was Sean and he genuinely loved doing what he did, took us to all the places enlightened us with all related information and literally knew every nook and cranny. We were worried about not getting enough rest and the food .But to our surprise we got nuff rest and also the food was great .He actually made us Muffins for breakfast. We will forever remember this trip.You will be mesmerized by the amount of nature you see.
Beaches, Mountains,Trees Kangaroos it has got everything
I did the six-day Margaret River to Esperance tour leaving Boxing Day 2021 — active, with lots of walking, climbing and swimming, but the best chill-out ever. Our guide was the ever-patient, capable Gem, and it was soon clear how she earned that nickname; she makes sure every traveller has a wonderful time. The pre-tour information was comprehensive and easy to follow, and when bushfires affected the route just days before, the itinerary was quickly and brilliantly adapted.
Loved it — so much packed into six days. The camping under the stars was great, the hikes were great, the tour leader was great and the food was great. Just great!
“Awesome”
Fits all the best of the South West into six days, every one filled with great views and adventures. Backpacker accommodation with the option to upgrade, which was an adventure in itself for me. Keith went out of his way to make us feel safe and comfortable, his meals were perfect (no trouble at all catering for fussy vegetarians), and he always added a little extra like dessert or cookies. Early starts, new adventures each day — worth every cent.
“Great experience!”
A great first camping experience with a varied, well-rounded itinerary enriched by our guide Sean's stories and anecdotes. I loved every place — the beaches of Cape Le Grand and Hamelin Bay, the beauty of Ngilgi Cave, the Margaret River wineries — and the food was a real plus. It was nice sharing some evenings with other groups on the road too. Definitely recommended.
“Beaches, swags and all round fun :D”
The Perth to Esperance six-day trip with guide Janner was amazing. The beaches down south are incredible and I loved the morning hikes with their stunning views. The itinerary was well planned, and although there's a fair bit of driving it was broken up with plenty of stops. Janner was superb — organised, informative and a great chef, with delicious evening meals and even sunrise pancakes. Highly recommend.
“Beautiful South-West Adventure Tour”
So glad I chose this as a solo traveller. We were a friendly group of eleven, and our guide Keith did everything to keep us happy — the meals, snacks and desserts were delicious, and as a vegan I was really well catered for. We visited beautiful towns and beaches and did some breathtaking hikes. Highly recommend.
“6 day esperance & southwest adventure tour with nullabor”
A fantastic, well-planned tour with our guide Damian, who always made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Sleeping in swags and falling asleep under the Milky Way was amazing, the food was good, and we saw a lot of great sights. 10/10 — would do it again.
“Sleeping under the stars in the bush.”
Sleeping under a blazing night sky in the bush, the silence profound — what a trip. Our tour leader Jenner is passionate and knowledgeable, cheerful and approachable, with an intimate feel for the Australian bush and for looking after his group. The food was hearty and varied and the itinerary a great mix of adventure and fun. I stepped out of my comfort zone and am so glad I did.
“Great trip, great guide”
We really enjoyed our tour through the South West — lots of good hikes and plenty of good food. A nice group and a really good guide in Janner. Recommended.
“6 Day Best of the South West Tour”
What a trip — amazing scenery, wildlife and wildflowers. Our guide Keith was excellent as guide, driver, cook and company, and with only five of us it felt special. Would definitely travel with them again.
“Amazing beaches and swagging good fun”
Perfect for seeing more of WA than just Perth — a long but well-broken drive over to Esperance and back along the coast. Our guide Janner shared loads about each area and cooked amazing meals, spoiling us with cooked breakfasts some mornings. We swam in the cool Southern Ocean, tried local beer, wine, cheese and chocolate, hiked various hills and visited Ngilgi Caves, where Josh shared the history and played the didgeridoo. A lovely six days — small-group tours really are the way to go.
“Swagtastic tour!!”
A lovely mixed-age group and an amazing tour. Our guide Janner was excellent, full of knowledge about the area, and even squeezed in some extra stops. Everything was great.
“6 day Esperance - brilliant adventure!”
A brilliant time exploring the beautiful South West with our guide Amanda. Frenchman's Peak was a gorgeous hike, and sleeping under the stars in a swag was a highlight. A real adventure.
“6 Day trip to Esparance”
Six wonderful days with our driver Pete. The activities were great and always fun, and I loved the evenings when we cooked together — it felt like a little family. I even had my first kangaroo encounter on this trip. Thanks Pete.
“6 day Perth to Esperance”
This trip left me with an unforgettable, wholly positive feeling, and our guide Pete was the best I've had. He went above and beyond — cooking tasty, hearty meals, joining in every activity and even creating a team theme song he'd play each morning on the way to our first stop. If you want the best Secrets of Esperance experience, hold out for Pete.
Absolutely loved the whole trip and would advise anyone to go. Sleeping under the stars in a swag was the best thing ever. We had two guides — Chris for the first stretch and Janner for the rest — and can't praise them enough; both worked tirelessly, stayed good-humoured throughout and did everything to give us the best experience. Thank you so much.
An excellent tour, and our guide Peter was full of the kind of knowledge you want. The places we visited were breathtaking. Swag camping is a bit different if you've never done it, but getting into your swag at night, looking up at the stars and then waking with kangaroos a couple of feet away is heaven — one of the most amazing experiences I've had. Just brilliant; do this tour and you won't regret it.
“6 Days Secret Of Esperance”
Just off the six-day Esperance tour and loved it. They go off the beaten track to beautiful, iconic spots and really look after everyone. It's traditional swag camping so be ready to rough it a little, but the stars alone are worth sleeping outside for. Everyone pitches in with cooking and cleaning, and in return you're well fed with hot showers along the way. Our guide Pete was knowledgeable, approachable and full of laughs, and the whole thing was very organised. My second trip with them, and I'll be back.
“Secrets of Esperance tour, super pretty”
An amazing time with our guide Natalie. Every day was packed — hikes, sightseeing spots, or simply time on the beach. Sleeping in a swag under the stars is a real experience, and well worth forgoing a bed for the week.
“Highly recommend this tour!”
Did the six-day Esperance, Margaret River and Albany trip in January 2019, upgrading to a twin room. Our five-star guide Pete was the heart of it — he cooked every meal to time and kept us on schedule each day. The bus was well equipped too, with a satellite phone, first-aid kit, USB charging and an esky for chilled food and drinks. Highly recommend for seeing more of southern WA.
“6 days secrets of esperance”
Booked as a solo traveller — this was one of the last regions of Australia I hadn't seen, and it didn't disappoint. Amazing stops throughout and I loved the whole trip. Our guide Janner made it even better with his knowledge and energy, which lifted the whole group; I'd had him as a guide up in Kakadu too, so it was lovely to see him again. Would 100% recommend.
“6 Day Secrets of Esperance”
I nervously booked the Esperance tour as my first solo holiday, with little hiking experience and about to sleep outdoors in a swag alongside strangers — but there was no need to worry. Our guide Natalie was down-to-earth, fun and full of knowledge about the South West, and the group was fantastic; we all mucked in and got along with plenty of laughs. We took in Wave Rock, stunning beaches, forests and hill climbs, the Ngilgi Caves and a wonderful insight into Aboriginal culture from Josh, and a day among the Margaret River wineries before heading back to Perth. Highly recommend — you'd be lucky with Natalie or Amanda.
“Best of the South West 6 day accommodated tour.”
A great tour of the South West. At 49 and travelling alone, I met lovely people of all ages and nationalities and saw so many amazing parts of WA. Our guide Pete took our safety and enjoyment seriously, got us to everything on the itinerary, and was flexible with different needs and the changing weather.
A really good trip with a knowledgeable, very accommodating guide. It was me and my mum, and it's great for all ages — she was happy and felt safe doing the activities. The trainee guide was very helpful too, and we had a great little group.
An awesome tour of the Margaret River region — stunning beaches, pristine forests, and a memorable canoe along the Margaret River, not to mention the delicious wine, beer, chocolate and cheese tastings. Our guide Sean was fantastic and knows so much about the local flora and fauna. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
“An amazing experience through the south west of Australia”
The six-day, five-night Esperance trip was great fun and full of variety. In under a week you see so much of what the South West offers — sleeping under the Milky Way in your swag, climbing a 50-metre tree, and hiking to paradise beaches and stunning landscapes. It's adventurous and a lovely way to meet like-minded people. Our guide Natalie is a force of nature — positive, energetic and passionate about Australia.
“6 day tour of southwest Australia”
The six-day Secrets of Esperance swag-camping trip was a blast. We discovered mountains, beaches, forests and caves across a string of national parks and nature sites, with plenty of chances to get up close to kangaroos, wallabies and more. Our fabulous guide Natalie brought out everyone's best with her stories and jokes. A great adventure I'd recommend to anyone happy to embrace nature.
“Secrets of Esperance”
Six days of the Secrets of Esperance camping trip — one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It opened my eyes to how inspiring nature can be, packing in so many beautiful places in a short time. Sleeping in a swag under a sky full of stars is indescribable, and I built strong friendships with people from all over the world. Our guide Natalie felt like an older sister and will always have a place in my heart. I really can't recommend it enough.
“6 days/5 nights Secrets of Esperance tour”
A six-day camping trip well worth doing to explore this remote corner of the South West. Highlights included Wave Rock, bringing in the New Year at Lucky Bay, wine tasting at Margaret River, and falling asleep under the stars in a swag each night. A friendly group made it, as did our guide Pete — experienced, fun and always ready to go the extra mile. Great value, and it starts and ends in Perth so it's easy to reach.
“Secrets of Esperance camping tour”
The Secrets of Esperance camping trip over Christmas far surpassed my expectations, even as someone who usually prefers travelling independently. The scenery was more spectacular than I'd imagined — waking up at Lucky Bay on Christmas morning! — and we were given freedom to explore with as much or as little guidance as we liked. Our guide Natalie went out of her way for everyone, adding extra stops, cooking a special Christmas brunch, catering to every dietary need and detouring to the best cafes. A great mixed group — I'd absolutely recommend it.
“6 days Best of the South West”
Did the accommodated South West tour in December and loved every minute. A great group of five from different countries, plus our fantastic guide Sean. I'd long wanted to see the kangaroos at Lucky Bay and Wave Rock, and this was the perfect way — and we saw so much more besides: Ngilgi Cave with Josh, a stingray beside me at Hamelin Bay, the tree-top walk at the Valley of the Giants, Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks, beautiful Albany and its Field of Light, and of course Lucky Bay. The weather came and went, but when the sun broke out over Little Hellfire and Hellfire Bays the colours came alive — a truly magical place. We topped the week off with karaoke in Northbridge. Would happily go back.
“Esperance accommondation tour”
A well-run six-day accommodated tour with a highly capable, experienced and outgoing guide — everything went smoothly. Plenty of swimming and hiking, and lots of chances to make friends. Well suited to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and meeting new people.
“You will not believe your eyes”
You genuinely won't believe your eyes — amazing beaches, towering trees and vineyards, then even more amazing beaches. The South West is breathtaking; where else can you have the whitest sand and most turquoise water almost to yourself, sharing only with resident kangaroos? Add climbing 60-metre trees and sampling wine and it's a fantastic trip. I felt so well looked after, and they showed me the very best of the region.
No regrets booking this tour — an awesome guide, a small group and stunning destinations. The food was delicious and varied, and despite the driving we still saw so many places and had quality time on the beaches and hiking. Perfect, and I enjoyed camping in the swags too.
From pick-up to drop-off I had a thoroughly good time. Special praise for our driver, guide and cook — all rolled into one person! I've recommended this trip to all sorts of people.
Everything was great — I couldn't fault a thing. I loved the tour so much I'd already left a review elsewhere and told all my friends about it. Hoping to do another trip in South Australia soon.
A brilliant tour from start to finish — loved the scenery, the wildlife and plenty of laughs with new friends.
We had a great time. We were older than the average traveller but loved the whole trip.
A beautiful part of the world, with a knowledgeable and fun guide. I loved the variety of hikes — a chance to challenge myself — and the stunning beaches.
Such a wonderful way to see the beauty of South West WA — highly recommend if you enjoy camping and roughing it a little. Being taken off the main roads to secluded beaches, with tips from a knowledgeable guide, was really appreciated. We'll definitely travel with them again.
The landscapes and seascapes were beautiful, and we loved waking to kangaroos outside our tent and on the beach. Every day was full of adventure.
The six-day Secrets of Esperance is a great way to explore WA at its greenest — amazing national parks, beaches and charming towns, tasty wine and cheese, and the full swag-camping experience. Well worth it.
One of the best tours I've ever been on. Our guide Sean was full of knowledge about every place we visited — the history of the towns, the wildlife, the culture — and great fun too, keeping the bus entertained with songs and games. We started at incredible Wave Rock, then reached Cape Le Grand near Esperance, where the blue of the ocean and white of the sand were jaw-dropping. Highlights included the Hellfire Bay to Lucky Bay hike, camping among the friendly kangaroos at Lucky Bay, sunrise views in the Stirling Ranges, beautiful Albany, the stingrays at Hamelin Bay, and wine, chocolate and cheese tastings around Margaret River, finishing at Yallingup and the Ngilgi Caves with an Aboriginal cultural talk from Josh. Every meal was excellent and varied, and the campsites were great. An incredible trip — you see so much more than you expect.
“Amazing week...”
Did the Secrets of Esperance tour with our fantastic guide Sean and saw a whole new side of WA. Everyone's encouraged to get stuck in, and within a day or so we'd all found our roles — trailer packer, swag stacker, you name it. Made great friends and saw brilliant sights. No hesitation in recommending.
I travelled with Anna on the Secrets of Esperance and she was great — not just a friend but a genuinely professional guide who knows a lot. The transport and accommodation were very good and varied, with plenty of fun along the way. She's a lovely person who clearly loves what she does; I really recommend her.
Thank you, Anna, for such a great adventure! I loved it all, and the swag experience is a must-do. Thanks for the kindness and energy — can't wait for a new adventure with you.
A fantastic tour — the Secrets of Esperance — and our guide Anna was just incredible.
Anna gave me the best experience ever — such an enthusiastic person, always in a good mood, always willing to help and with an answer to all my questions. She truly made my trip unforgettable.
My first trip with this company was Adelaide to Perth a few years back, and though the weather wasn't great the guides were, so when I heard Anna was running the Perth to Esperance tour I jumped at a fine-weather gap in late February. It was fantastic. Anna had reversed the itinerary to make the most of the weather — an inspired call — taking us down the coast to Albany and across to the Cape at a perfect pace, with two beautiful nights at Lucky Bay. Recent rains had the wildflowers out and the water was warm and calm. A nice group of twelve, and Anna made everyone a friend from the start. She works hard to find the best locations and routes, handled some serious washout detours without complaint, and the food was great with everyone pitching in. Her light touch, humour and passion for Australian nature make her a stand-out guide.
An amazing tour — the Secret of Esperance! The scenery was just stunning, and our guide Ana brought energy and knowledge throughout the six days.
The Secret of Esperance trip was great — even though flooding meant we never quite made it to Esperance itself! Ana showed us some amazing spots and it was a wonderful experience. I'd recommend this trip to anyone thinking of visiting WA.
My girlfriend and I took the Secrets of Esperance tour with our guide Anna Teneggi and had a blast — covering a lot of miles, national parks and amazing hikes, and seeing wild dolphins and kangaroos. The group took a little while to gel, but Anna found a way around that, and by the end we'd made friends for life; we're still in touch with them and with Anna months later. Couldn't have asked for more, and we'd definitely travel with her again.
I was lucky to join the Secrets of Esperance tour with our lovely guide An. It was perfect — she was easy-going and impressed us with her knowledge, and we had a fantastic group. I never felt rushed at any point. Highly recommended.
A fantastic six-day Esperance trip — loved every minute. Our guide Anna was incredibly hard-working, personable and informative. Cape Le Grand has unbelievably beautiful beaches, and the organised hikes showed off the ruggedness of south-western Australia while testing our own stamina.
A great tour with beautiful scenery, good food and great people — and I enjoyed the singing with our talented 'singer guide' Sean! Camping can be fun, so go for it if you can. Western Australia is amazing.
A great itinerary and an excellent guide, taking in some amazingly beautiful natural places — I'd definitely recommend it. Just be aware it's proper camping in tents and swags, with some nights off-grid without electricity or showers, so it's an adventure; summer is the best time to make the most of the gorgeous beaches.
Sean is a friendly, positive and interesting guide, and we had a great trip — he was always doing his best to please the group.
An excellent trip — loved every second. Dane was a brilliant all-rounder as driver, cook, host and entertainment.
Scotty was an awesome guide — a great laugh, does so much, and goes out of his way to make sure you see as much as possible. He made my travelling experience one I'll never forget. Great trip!
“ESPERANCE, WESTERN AUSTRALIA”
This is one of the few beautiful places on earth that many tourists are unaware of. The beaches are just wonderful. Very few visitors and clear blue water. You can have the whole beach to yourself and your friends! The people are very friendly and prices of eatery are very reasonable; unlike those in the Big Cities: (SYDNEY, GOLD COAST etc). It is quite easy to reach from Perth. The drive down South is enjoyable, with good roads.
